In Horilla CRM, every record, whether it’s a Lead, Opportunity, Contact, Campaign, or Account, can be accessed through a dedicated Detail View. This page brings together everything you need to understand, update, and manage a record in one place.

From any list view, you can open a record simply by clicking its name or title. The Detail View then presents all relevant information, along with quick actions and navigation tools, in a clean and structured layout.

This guide walks through how the Detail View is organized and how you can use it effectively in your day-to-day work.

Accessing the Detail View

Opening a record is straightforward. From any list view:

  • Click the record name in the first column
    • In Leads → click the Lead title.
    • In Opportunities → click the Opportunity name.
    • In Contacts → click the Contact name.

This takes you directly to the Detail View, where all information related to that record is displayed.

How the Detail View Is Structured

The Detail View is divided into three main sections:

  1. Header Section
  2. Pipeline / Stage Section
  3. Details Section

Each section is designed to help you quickly understand the record and take action without switching between multiple pages.

1. Header Section – Quick Overview

At the top of the page, the header provides a snapshot of the most important details, such as:

  • Record name or title
  • Email or contact information
  • Record owner
  • Industry
  • Lead source or other key attributes

This allows you to identify the record and grasp its context at a glance.

1. Field Customization

The Fields button in the top-right corner lets you control which fields are visible in both the header and the details section. This makes it easy to tailor the layout to your needs.

Benefits include:

  • A cleaner, more focused interface
  • Better visibility of key information
  • A layout that matches your workflow

2. Breadcrumb Navigation

At the top-left, breadcrumbs show where you are in the system (for example, Leads > Odyssey Outreach-498). You can use them to quickly return to the previous list or section.

3. Next & Previous Navigation

You’ll also find Next and Previous buttons, which let you move between records without going back to the list view. This is especially useful when reviewing multiple entries in sequence.

2. Pipeline / Stage Section – Track Progress

For modules that use stages or statuses, a pipeline appears just below the header. This gives a clear visual representation of where the record stands in its workflow.

Updating Stages

You can update the stage simply by clicking on a different step in the pipeline. There’s no need to open a separate edit form.

This makes it easier to:

  • Update progress quickly
  • Keep workflows moving
  • Maintain a clear view of status at all times

3. Details Section – Full Record Information

The Details Section contains the complete information related to the record.

The Details Section contains all information related to the record, organized into tabs for easy navigation:

  • Details – Core record information
  • Activity – Tasks, meetings, calls, and events
  • Related Lists – Connected records (such as contacts or deals)
  • Notes & Attachments – Files and notes
  • History – A full log of changes made to the record

Inline Editing

One of the most useful features here is inline editing. You can update fields directly on the page without opening a separate form:

  • Click the edit icon next to a field
  • Update the value
  • Save instantly

This reduces unnecessary steps and helps you work more efficiently.

Action Menu (Record Actions)

In the top-right corner, the three-dot menu provides quick access to key actions, such as:

  • Edit the record
  • Change the owner
  • Convert (for applicable records like leads)
  • Duplicate the record
  • Delete the record

These options allow you to manage records without leaving the Detail View.

Why the Detail View Matters

The Detail View is designed to make record management faster and more intuitive. It brings together everything you need in a single workspace, including:

  • A clear overview of key information
  • Visual tracking of progress through stages
  • Quick updates with inline editing
  • Customizable fields for a personalized view
  • Easy navigation between records
  • Fast access to common actions
  • Well-organized tabs for all related data

The Detail View in Horilla CRM serves as your central hub for managing individual records. With its structured layout, flexible customization, and built-in shortcuts, it helps you stay focused and efficient.k

Whether you’re working with Leads, Opportunities, Contacts, Campaigns, or Accounts, everything you need is right where you expect it—making it easier to keep your data accurate and your workflow on track.
